Abstract
A PRELIMINARY programme has been circulated of the Sixth International Botanical Congress, to be held in Amsterdam on September 2-7 of this year, under the presidency of Prof. F. A. F. C. Went. An executive committee of Dutch botanists, with Dr. M. J. Sirks of Wageningen as secretary, has divided the Congress into ten sections: agronomy, cytology, genetics, geobotany, morphology and anatomy, mycology and bacteriology, phytopathology, palaeo-botany, plant physiology, taxonomy and nomenclature. The presidents and vice-presidents of sections are already announced, as well as the topics chosen for discussion in each section, and some of the principal speakers. The subjects for discussion include many of the current problems in all phases of botany, and some will be considered jointly by two or more sections. A number of excursions to various parts of Holland are being arranged to follow the Congress.
